Thanks for getting back, too bad to hear ClipSMPTE’s output is not stable for you. We have so far tested it mostly with Resolume; do you have the opportunity to see if this problem also occurs when you try Resolume? It has a free demo version that you should be able to use.

Also, do you know if it is possible to run Onyx and/or M-PC in demo mode without a console? That would give us the ability to try to reproduce this issue.

Absolutely l´Il try Resolume!
Yes you can use Onyx/M-Pc to check Timecode connections without consol or license.
I haven’t got a hardware input for SMPTE so I use Lockstep to convert from SMPTE to MTC. Maby it´s the weak link.

Great, let us know what you find. I added checking Onyx and M-PC with Lockstep to our todo list.

Also, in the future I guess we should see if there is a way to let LiveMTC output a clip position instead of the arrangement position. I feel the biggest question there would be how to interface this. Say we have the MTC plugin on the master track and instead of outputting the arrangement position we now want it to output the playback position of a clip. How would we choose this?

Maybe a dropdown in the MTC plugin that has a list of tracks and also an Arrangement option, which would be selected by default? It would have to be clear that only the position of a single clip can be sent out at a time.

It would be great to hear if you or anyone else would have ideas about this.
